Les Nymphéas

Les Nymphéas is the restaurant of Le Domaine de Gorneton, a 17th‑century house set in a 4‑hectare park in Chasse‑sur‑Rhône. The house has been referenced by the Michelin Guide (2025) and honoured with a Bib Gourmand in 2026. Sourcing follows short circuits: vegetables come from nearby market gardeners, meats from regional French breeders, cheeses are locally selected and fish are sourced in French waters and delivered via short supply chains. Concise set menus and regular summer wine‑bar events frame an intimate, seasonal and sustainably minded gastronomic offering for guests, business lunches, private events and residents of the house. The dining room is cosy and softly appointed, opening onto the garden and a charming pond that evokes Monet’s Nymphéas; in summer the courtyard provides an outdoor, village‑like ambience for al fresco meals. The venue conveys a warm, elegant atmosphere blending historic character with contemporary comfort and heritage charm with contemporary hospitality. The kitchen serves modern, delicate and refined dishes that marry French tradition with world inspirations and precise, polished presentations, and pairs plates with a curated selection of northern Rhône wines with particular emphasis on the ancestral Vitis Vienna vineyard. Loïc Plestin leads the culinary team; he brings some 20 years of experience, trained under Olivier Drouet and with stages at Gavroche in London and Filakia in Paris, and the brigade includes members focused on eco‑responsible practices and pâtisserie expertise. Specialties: filet of maigre; magret de canard (duck breast); swordfish with dashi broth; pavé of butternut; brandade with spinach pistou; perfect egg; tête de veau snacké.
